Movie weekend, and Easter
Ben and I decided to see what all the fuss was about regarding the Oscar nominated movies for this year, so we rented Atonement and No Country for Old Men, which were the nominees we hadn't already seen.
Atonement = horrible. Why does Keira Knightley sucks so much? And WHY was that movie nominated? I felt absolutely nothing for the characters. I was peeved that Cecilia's sister lied, but that's it. And I didn't feel for Cecilia and Robbie when they died, AT ALL. Boooooring. D
No Country for Old Men = GREAT, up until the end. Super engaging, and Javier Bardem was amazing at being super creepy and heartless. I can certainly see why this won. I know what they were going for with the ending, and from what I've been told, they didn't stray from the book, but I was disappointed. Aside from the ending I'd give it an A.
